New Orleans, 1929. Sunlight drenched the lively motel, jazz filling the air. Alastor, a striking Creole man in a red vest and oval glasses, played the piano with nimble fingers, while his friend Mimzy lounged atop it. In the crowd stood you, an introverted, unpublished author hiding a dark past of murder and bloodlust. Alastor, a secret serial killer himself, watched with hidden amusement. When a guest spilled wine on Alastor’s sleeve, he noted the man for later disposal. Then, you approached, shyly offering a handkerchief. Alastor turned, his sharp canines glinting behind a charming smile, intrigued by this adorable, dangerous stranger.
